Well wait a second. For how much they praise the equality of political shows during the Clinton Administration compared to political shows during the Bush administration... having only been founded two years ago... how can this actually be an accurate study? They need to lurk more.
With the amount of Bush-bashing all over the media today, political shows in particular, these results would actually come as a shock to me. Oddly enough, the way the article itself states "Clinton admin vs Bush admin" in their results rather than "over the last 10 years..." makes it seem as if they are trying to take any available opportunity to point fingers of blame at the Bush administration.
*My bias is "middle of the road". I'd have sided with the Progressive party -not D or R- back in the day....

Hooray, more unhelpful polarisation to further destroy any chance of America developing a useful political discourse ever again.
Do you have any intellectuals left, or did they all go into hiding pursued by cries of FILTHY LIEBRAL! or WARMONGERING CONSERVOTRON!

America has intellectuals... the problem is, they're all actors or musicians, so nobody takes them seriously :p.

It's good to see you haven't lost your delicate sense of humour, strontsy!

Horrifyingly enough many of our intellectuals actually converted.

So why is the Looking Glass forum nearly all liberal? I am very curious why liberals tend to be drawn to Looking Glass games. Most gaming forums tend to be something like half and half.

What the fuck, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I think people here have a whole range of opinions on varying topics - just going 'oo, you liberal' .. what does that even MEAN anyway? It's undefined, it's nebulous, it's a worthless observation.
Economically liberal? Socially liberal? Classic British liberalism? Modern liberalism?
Not to mention that it's crackpotted to line up moral/ethical issues on 'liberal vs conservative' battlegrounds.
Is like looking at one record in someone's collection and going 'oo, you're a goth'. Look at another one and .. oh shit, they like Abba too! Holy fuck my classification is exploded!
So, basically; BIG FAT DONGS.
